Feeling sorry for myself

Well I feel right sorry for myself and I probably am being unreasonable infact I know I’m being unreasonable as other people have much larger problems than me.

We are due to go on a long haul holiday on Tuesday (DH, 2 kids and I). It will be our first holiday in 3 years as previously I was looking after my dad who had cancer but he passed away last year.

Last meek my IBS flared up and I don’t know how I’m going to be as one minute I could be fine, the next rushing to the toilet as I will have diahorrea, and today I’ve got toothache.

I am taking as much medication as I can for my IBS but for the toothache paracetamol is just taking the edge off the pain and I don’t know if I will get an appointment at the dentist tomorrow.

I just feel right down and sorry for myself. Sorry just wanted to vent on here as I don’t want to moan to my DH.

Clove oil will help with tooth pain but you need to ring the dentist and lay it on thick about the pain and the fact that you are flying long haul on Tuesday.
I had friends who were flight attendants and there were rules about flying with teeth issues due to risk of air embolisms.
And tooth ache sucks. Worst pain ever. You have my utmost sympathies xx

Get an emergency appointment.

Regarding the IBS, take 1 Imodium instant tablet as soon as you wake, for the duration of the holiday, if needs be. Enjoy!

Thank you. I will defo phone the dentist just hoping I can get an appointment tomorrow.

The holiday means a lot to me my dad left me money and told me to take DH, myself and the kids away on a nice holiday. I just cant believe my health problems might get in the way.

Well I have a sinus infection 🤢 on antibiotics, but have been told okay to fly. I sound nasally this morning and my face is a bit swollen.

Just my luck

Might explain the toothache as there’s not a lot of space in there. Hope you feel better soon xx
